Yeah, being colonized and ostracized by the Chinese is pretty evil.

I'll add some mouse ones: if you have thumb buttons they are next/previous page.

Mouse wheel down clicking on a link opens it in a new tab.

Mouse wheel down clicking on a tab label closes the tab (no need to hunt for the little x).

I wish I got to be as militant about my atheist beliefs as some nut jobs can be about their faith.

Not that I really want to, but must be nice sometimes just acting like everybody that doesn't think like me is wrong

I'm currently reading Anthony Beevors 'D-Day'... But I'm also in Normandy, so I just read that book whilst sitting on Omaha Beach, which is pretty special.

Black humor is an important coping mechanism

poo-tin

James Donald Bowman is a despicable piece of human excrement.

And I will continue to deadname his ass in every thread that draws attention to him.

For what it's worth 'idiot' used to be the strongest term in the medical book. And that term is now considered pretty mild.

I'd replace him with a rabbit.

This is the history of mankind summarized succinctly.

What's the situation with the Istanbul mayor today? Haven't heard much about that

Yeah it's a weird confidence in the justice of the afterlife.

If you want the maximum amount of suffering for the perpetrator (something the US justice system seems eager to) then killing them only with it if there's a Satan grilling his ass. If their existence just ends it's rather merciful.

So even if you are hell bent on having a punitive sentencing system (even though it's proven to be unhelpful for everybody involved) the death sentence doesn't make sense at all.

A life sentence where the perpetrator is kept alive for as long as possible, against their will (which is ironicall supposed the merciful thing according to the pro life folks (who also overlap with pro death sentence folk, interestingly)) is technically the most severe form of punishment.

I feel like idiota would be overcrowded

I caused a minor diplomatic incident between the development organisations of the Netherlands and Germany in a small African country.

I was working for the Dutch organisation as an intern. There was a little get together of the organisations at a local bar. When introductions were made I used a WW2 term to describe our boss. I said 'this is our ubersturmbahnfuhrer'.

This was not the right thing to say, as the leader of the German team was an ex-east German and staunch antifascist with little sense for my perceived 'humor'. He felt personally insulted by being compared thusly and I had to shamefully go down to their offices and profusely apologize.

How does this subsidy work? Asking for my dad, who lives in France.

Yes, consciousness is described as a constant feedback loop by Douglas Hofstadter in his book 'I am a strange loop'.

Well with the read it you want to explore this though a bit further.

I think Dubai should be high on the list. A vapid city without history that only attracts people because of being expensive.

It's thriving die to slave labor and violent racism.

He's just spent a couple of days being fellated by the entirety of NATO countries, including the Dutch royal family, so he feels like he's the top dog in everything once more.

Just be like China and ignore his hollow threats

Anna Karenina. There's no better pshychological character study of upper class Russian culture (but at the same time, about people in general).

But large businesses cannot vote, that's so unfair!
